Hi Chad,
Regardless, multi-single contest rules do not allow for that to happen - except
for CQWW which does not use serial #'s.
In a multi-single you should not be operating on two bands at once under any
circumstances.
Multi-single rules are the most restrictive (10 minute rule or # of band
changes) in order to prevent this sort of practice, where you're really multi-2
or multi-multi.

He said he "started to enter a Q". He didn't say anything about
working (trasmitting) two stations at once. WL assigns a number
as soon as you start typing in a call. You will also see
this behavior as SO2R in WL and you enter a call in each call
entry area, you will get numbers assigned, and if you wipe the
first one, that number is skipped and never reassigned.
I've given up on totally sequential numbers, and as others
have said, it doesn't matter as long as you log what was sent.
I proved this to myself last year during SS CW where I submitted
a M/S log with funky numbers and ARRL had zero problems with
that.
